IB Exchange: Action through Social Entrepreneurship

Welcome to the sixth installment of an eight-part series on action through the IB Exchange.  This guide will build upon prior understanding of individual and collective action (part one) and ways to support action (part two). You will need to have prior understanding of these concepts to be able to apply the content of this guide. 

The IB defines social entrepreneurship as, “Supporting positive social change through responding to the needs of local. national, & global communities; applying prior knowledge and skills to identify and address challenges and opportunitiesin innovative, resourceful and sustainable ways.” 

We will explore social justice through the lens Where We are in Place in Time, which is one of the six trandsdisciplinary themes within a PYP programme of inquiry. 

Let's have some fun merging individual and collective action, the ways to support action and the PYP transdisciplinary themes.

The majority of the ideas within this guide can be found in Principles into Practice: The Learner.  To get your own copy of this guide, please look below for directions. ​

​This guide is only available for educators who currently work at an IB candidate or authorized school.  They must have an active My IB account.
